- Jerry and his sweetheart, Amy, secure a vantage point in order to view a passing military parade. Amy, quite a flirt, is attracted by a first lieutenant and waves to him, but not without notice of the jealous eyes of Jerry. They have a wordy quarrel, long drawn out and extending until after the ending and disbursing of the parade and which leads to Amy accepting the company of the lieutenant (met during their later stroll), and the dismissing of Jerry in a very unceremonious manner. Injury is thus added to insult, by the lieutenant kicking Jerry out of the way, so he has just cause for revenge. Walking along, planning dire punishment for the lieutenant, Jerry comes up to the residence of Professor Knutt, a hypnotist, who places him under his spell, makes him do most ridiculous things and tells him what he has been doing when he returns to consciousness. Jerry is astonished, and inquires how the Professor does it. He is told it is the ring the Professor wears that is the influence. Jerry gets the ring in his own inimical way and without expense. With the ring on his finger, Jerry accomplishes much to his own amusement before entering on the program he had in mind when he determines to secure it. He makes passes on a couple of cops and gets them into a fight; he makes a cigar store clerk give him a bundle of bank notes in change for a mythical small coin; he casts his spell over the lieutenant, who commits breaches of the peace that land him in jail; intercepts a prince as he steps out of his equipage to make a call on his sweetheart's father and here he appropriates the prince's raiment and, using the prince as a servant, is admitted as the dignitary. As they enter Jerry pulls the prince's only covering off him, disclosing him as sans breeches and underwear, but wearing a corset and hightop boots. Such a costume at a reception riles Father, who uses a double-barreled shotgun to expedite the nondescript's exit. Jerry, alarmed at the belligerent action of Father toward a counterfeit, also runs off, fearing his duplicity may be discovered, but this act proves his undoing, for later he is sought for by the Professor, with the aid of officers, to punish him for taking forcible possession of the Professor's magic ring. The result is that Jerry's revenge proves a boomerang when he is locked up in the same cell with the lieutenant and the rightful prince.—Moving Picture World synopsis
